Oddsmart Dutch Bet Calculator

Maximise your matched-betting profits by spreading your stake across multiple selections with precision and confidence.

Dutch betting is the art of backing every outcome in an event so that, whatever wins, you pocket the same return.

It’s perfect for horse racing, multi-way markets and situations where laying on an exchange isn’t practical.

By diversifying your stake, you lock in a guaranteed profit (or controlled loss) no matter which selection comes home first.

Key Features of our Dutch Bet Calculator

Full Coverage (2–20 Selections)

Most dutching calculators cap at four or six runners. Oddsmart goes further, letting you input up to twenty selections—ideal for large handicap races, outright markets or multi-runner specials.

Flexible Odds Format

Choose the notation that suits you:

  • Decimal (e.g. 4.50)
  • Fractional (e.g. 7/2)
  • American (e.g. +650 or –120)

Our calculator automatically converts everything to a common decimal basis, so your stake allocations remain spot on.

 Commission-Friendly

Whether you’re using a betting exchange with a 2% commission or a bonus-eligible bookmaker, simply enter your commission percentage per selection. Oddsmart factors it into your effective odds before calculating stakes.

Stake Rounding Options

Fine-tune your stakes to practical increments—pounds, fifty-pence, ten-pence or custom levels. Our Round Stakes To dropdown lets you choose from 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.50 or £1 increments, ensuring you never bet fractions of a penny.

Dual Modes: Total Stake vs First-Selection
  • Total Stake: Distribute a fixed total across all selections. Ideal when managing a strict bankroll.
  • First Selection: Base your stakes proportionally on the amount you want to risk on a single “favourite” leg, with others scaled automatically around it.
Instant Recalculation

Change any input—odds, commission, number of selections, stake mode—and watch stakes, returns and profits update in real time (Excel/LibreOffice formulas or macro-enabled sheets handle the magic behind the scenes).

Enter Total Stake
For Total Stake mode, type your entire bet pool here (e.g. 50). For First Selection, this cell remains unused (stakes derive from B3 mode).

Dutch Betting Calculator FAQs

What’s the difference between Dutching and Laying?

Dutching involves backing every outcome so that the return is the same regardless of winner. Laying (exchange betting) involves betting against an outcome, which can lock in profits via hedging. Dutching is often simpler and avoids exchange commission nuances but requires multiple bookmaker accounts.

In Free Bet mode, your initial stake isn’t returned by the bookmaker if you win. Oddsmart adjusts calculations so your guaranteed profit reflects a free-bet scenario—stake goes unused, and all profits derive from net winnings.

Rounding stakes to realistic increments (e.g. 5p, 10p) can slightly skew exact equalisation. The Round Stakes To option balances practicality with precision—you can choose finer increments (1p) if you wish.

Absolutely. Select your preferred format at the top, and the calculator parses and converts inputs automatically. Fractional odds like “7/2” become 4.5 in decimal, and American odds like “+450” convert to 5.5.

Simply enter 0% in the Commission (%) column. Effective odds remain unchanged, and the calculator allocates stakes accordingly.

Up to 20 selections. Use the Number of Selections dropdown to choose your field size; the rest of the table adjusts automatically.

It verifies that small rounding adjustments haven’t caused your total stakes to exceed or undershoot your intended bank. Always check this value to stay within budget.
